+\title{Red-black trees in a functional setting}
+\date{2016{-}04{-}20}

+\maketitle
+\subsubsection*{Summary \& Evidence}
+%Summary (as briefly as you can - two or three sentences)
+Okasaki presents a self-proclaimed dead simple algorithm for rebalancing
+Red-black trees.
+
+%Evidence (what evidence is offered to support the claims?)
+As evidence Okasaki provides all the tree operations one by one, starting with
+the easiest ones. The balance function is implemented in a slightly different
+way. This is possible because of properties of functional languages.
+
+\subsubsection*{Strengths \& Weaknesses}
+%Strength (what positive basis is there for publishing/reading it?)
+The paper is clear and straight to the point
+
+%Weaknesses
+
+\subsubsection*{Evaluation}
+%Evaluation (if you were running the conference/journal where it was published,
+%would you recommend acceptance?)
+The paper was published in \emph{Functional Pearls} for which it is suitable.
+The paper is way too short and shallow to be published in a regular journal
+concerning the topic. It would also suit a summer school. Students can think
+about the problem tackled in an hour or two.
+
+%Comments on quality of writing
+The paper is very short and quite some popular language is used.
